White Knight; If you care to look at Afriqiya and Libyan Airlines safety record you will find that that they are some of the best in the world. This was accomplished in spite of punishing economic embargoes in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's, where maintenance was at its lowest and poor airport facilities made operations extremely difficult, yet the safety record is enviable. Libyan pilots are trained to the highest standards at Oxford and, formerly,Hamble, and have earned the admiration of their line trainers at Lufthansa and Air France. No doubt, after this accident, you will see state of the art ILS equipment installed at Tripoli.. but its locking the stable doors after the event.Please dont blame Libyan pilots... ask any professional who dealt with them.
